When you hear the word ‘screenshot’ you probably don’t think ‘excitement.’ However, the recipient of your email, reader of your Microsoft Word document, or viewer of your PowerPoint presentation might find a screenshot or two a welcome change to the traditional – dare I say, boring – approach.

1. Use Fewer Words in Word Documents

Including step-by-step instructions complete with screenshots in your procedural or technical documentation can make a big difference. It breaks up the text, and can make your message even clearer by also showing what you’re trying to say.

2. Add Personality to PowerPoint Presentations

People often dread viewing PowerPoint Presentations. There’s nothing more boring than slides of words being read out loud.

Add visuals to your slides, like screenshots of data dashboards with arrows to call attention exactly where you want their focus.
